THE IRON AGE RIDINQ CULTIVATOR. 



The purchaser of a Cultivator, one or two-horse, stamped with the trade-mark "Iron Age," 

 ma}' rest assured he is getting the very best the market affords, and this assurance particular!}- applies 

 to the tool shown above. It is, comparatively, a new member of the family of " Iron Ages," but we 

 find it well deserves the name, as during the past season it has given the most unqualified satisfaction, 

 and the manufacturers were unable to supply the demand. It is not only a first-class tool for the corn- 

 field, but is designed expressly for the cultivation of "truck " of all kinds. 



It possesses some decidedly novel features that are found on no other tool of its kind. The 

 wearisome work of guiding the teeth with the feet is entirely avoided by the unique arrangement of a 

 single lever, by the use of which all misplaced hills are dodged, or if desired, the space between the hills 

 can be thoroughly worked. 



We call attention to the manner of attaching the teeth, having a steel standard which can be 

 instantly adjusted in depth or angle of cut, or removed altogether. Farmers tell us it is "sensible," 

 and "just the thing." Plows are furnished with the Cultivator, but by this adjustment the teeth can be 

 set at such a sharp angle and the soil cast to or from the crop so strongly as to render the plows almost 

 superfluous. 



As shown by the cut, the outside teeth, with their section of frame, can be quickly removed, 

 reducing the Cultivator to six teeth. 



The axle — steel of course — is one straight piece, and held in place by a single bolt, giving the 

 farmer an opportunity of replacing same, when worn, with but little trouble or expense. A Cultivator, 

 to do good and satisfactory work in small plants, should run steadily and not sway from side to side on 

 worn-out axles. 



List price, I35.CO ; retail price, 1^30.00 ; including a pair of Turning Plows, Shields and Fallow 

 Attachment.
